GRAPHITESEAL ULTRA 350 is a high-quality, non-asbestos gasket material based on aramid fibres, lamellar graphite, mineral fillers and NBR binder. The embedded graphite flakes provide exceptional resistance to temperature, mechanical stress and dynamic loads.
Combines very good thermal properties and chemical resistance to steam, oils, gases, fuels, lubricants, alkaline media and weak acids. Especially recommended for chemical, petro-chemical, construction, OEM industries and power plants. BAM approved for oxygen service. Antistick coating on one side facilitates disassembly.
